Pretty much a perfect song. Is it melancholy or joyous? Resigned or victorious? It's in touch.

So what does Marconi playing the mamba mean? "Marconi" is referring to the radio itself. It plays a deadly snake. The snake - the mamba - is slithering from the speakers. Ready to kill greedy corporations. Ready to free the world of all that is evil, and to leave behind only the youthful idealism encompassed by the tenets of rock and roll.

RIP Higgins. I always remember the time he banged his head and spent the whole episode wandering the estate reciting lengthy passages from Shakespeare. Always had a soft spot for Magnum PI, tried so hard to be avant garde while coming across as just downright weird.

Was a fan up to For Those About to Rock and lost touch from there, but yeah, earlier stuff with Scott is their best. For a heavy rock band, always thought they had a great sense of rhythm, fairly basic formula but they did it damn well.
